Abstract

Wind-turbines extract kinetic energy from the windIn this study, two-dimensional aero foil (i.e. DU-93 and NREL-S809) CFD models are presented using ANSYS-FLUENT software. The dimensionless lift, drag and pitching moment coefficients were calculated for wind-turbine blade at different angles of attack Thesis work is aimed at designing a wind turbine for tapping the average wind speed in urban locations, The NACA 63 and 64 series is chosen as the basic group for investigation because they have good low speed and medium speed characteristics and the power curve is better in the low and medium wind speed ranges.
